Increased videoconferencing after COVID-19 stay-at-home orders increased depression and anxiety but did not impact appearance satisfaction or binge eating
Time spent viewing selfies significantly increases body dissatisfaction, body checking, and eating psychopathology. We examined whether (1) self-viewing screen-time while videoconferencing increased from February to April 2020, following stay-at-home orders across most states. We hypothesized that:...

Time spent viewing selfies significantly increases body dissatisfaction, body checking, and eating psychopathology.

We hypothesized that: (2) participants’ anxiety, depression, appearance orientation, and binge eating would increase and appearance satisfaction would decrease after COVID-19 lockdowns; and (3) recent (“past two weeks”) videoconferencing duration would significantly predict worsened depression, anxiety, binge eating, appearance orientation, and appearance satisfaction.

Anxiety and depression increased, and appearance orientation and satisfaction decreased significantly after COVID-19 lockdowns. Self-viewing time significantly predicted recent depression and anxiety, but not appearance orientation, appearance satisfaction, or binge eating.
